Meet the breeder

I'm Sarah B., the breeder behind Joyful Pastures Homestead located in Candia, NH. We adore our Bernedoodles! We practice ethical breeding and our dogs are well loved. All puppies come with a certificate of health, first vaccinations, are dewormed, genetic health testing (through Paw Print Genetics), and furnishing tested. Ember/Mom is a tri-color furnished bernedoodle with an amazingly calm and loving temperament. She's always by our side and loves our children. Snoopy/Dad is a curly coat furnished bernedoodle with a cow pattern. He is a super happy and expressive dog with an amazing temperament and wonderful with our 10 children. This is Ember's 2nd litter, and all the puppies are doing amazing and growing well. They will be available for adoption after September 13th. All are tri-colored, and we will be testing to see why type of furnishings they have.

Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love this breed and want to pass these amazing animals to other families.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies come from a home where they are exposed to lots of love, farm animals, and children. We go above to have our puppies tested genetically for health and coat furnishings so that the buyer knows exactly what they are getting. All our puppies are tri-color, and the parents are in good health and well loved.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include tri-color and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We got Rio(aka Bandit) at 9 weeks old. He was already well socialized and was great around new humans and dogs. Almost felt like he was already potty trained too! Gave us a bit of trouble with crate training early but Sarah calmly allayed all our concerns. She also went above and beyond with information on puppy needs and care.

    Sarah was amazing to work with! She was so helpful and responsive, and her puppies are truly the best! Our sweet puppy is absolutely wonderful. He is incredibly sweet, friendly, and well socialized. He LOVES children and has quickly become BFFs with all the neighborhood kids. He loves everyone he meets and is such a good natured boy. You couldn’t ask for a better pup!

    Sarah was so wonderful to work with. She quickly set up a video call so I could see my prospective puppy and I fell in love immediately. Sarah listened to my concerns about needing a hypoallergenic coat for my allergy-sensitive stepson. There was never any pressure and she quickly responded to any questions I had along the way. She was 100% transparent about our puppy and her parents and had all the appropriate documents and vet check available. She was willing to drive halfway to meet me which was super convenient. Good Dog made the process so easy and made the communication process seamless. Thank you so much Sarah for your great communication, honesty, and love of the breed!!

    Sarah has been an absolute pleasure to work with during our puppy search. Looking online for puppies can be stressful since you never quite know what you’re getting into, but Sarah immediately made us feel comfortable with the process. From the start, she was responsive, transparent, and happy to answer all of our questions. She replied to my initial inquiry about one of her puppies (Socks, now Lucy) within minutes and even offered a video chat right away. We were able to see Lucy in action and could tell instantly that she was well cared for and truly loved. Everything with our puppy has gone wonderfully, and she brings so much joy to our family. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and wholeheartedly recommend Sarah as a breeder if you’re looking for a puppy!

    Sarah did a great job helping me pick the best puppy for me. She was extremely patient with me and wanted the best for the puppy. I had a problem with my check coming in on time to pay for the puppy but she was extremely patient in waiting for me to pay and come pick up the puppy. She did everything she could to make this process smooth and efficient! Ekko is 4 months old now and is the sweetest and most lovable puppy I could ask for!

    I had such a wonderful experience with Sarah. We have two beautiful Bernadoodle puppies from her litter and they are perfect! Sarah is extremely knowledgeable about this breed and it is evident she really cares about raising them as puppies. They were very well loved and were already familiar with going potty outside when we got them. I highly recommend Sarah as a breeder!!
